There is growing academic interest in addressing the relationship
of religion and science. There are also very generous funding
sources that encourage scientists to demonstrate the reality of
purpose in the world. Still, there are organizations offering
support to community groups dedicated to discussing religion and
science. Contributors explore this development in Faith in Science.
The intellectual initiatives analyzed here seem far removed from
the deep religious and cultural divisions that dominate the
contemporary geopolitical landscape. This emerging industry,
however, originates in a cultural debate that set the evolutionary
view of Nature against revelation's conception of Nature as the
fulfillment of God's creation. The two worldviews are hopelessly
mismatched, although scientific creationism purports to have
uncovered scriptural evidence that invites another look. Along the
way, the imposition of theological themes onto the geological
record became a tendency for many naturalists. Peter Medawar's
scathing review of Teilhard de Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man in
1961 remains as a warning for those who mix Darwinian orthodoxy and
theological parlance. The challenge, Medawar would have us believe,
is not to abandon the exacting methods and logic of science in
favor of a poetic dream of how consciousness is a manifestation of
energy. But does this mean that science and religion are only
methodologically demarcated? Must we insist on the traditional
boundaries instituted by scientific conventions and religious
beliefs? From various historical, religious, and scientific vantage
points, contributors to this volume, who include Guy Consolmagno,
Donald Kraybill, David Ray Griffin, Gerald L. Schroeder, Robert
Pollack, Robert Pennock, Carol Wayne Wright, Bill Durbin, Kathleen
Duffy, and Anthony Matteo, take up these challenges.
